When you watch a PGA Tour broadcast, you're bound to see one brand more than any other: Titleist. From the iconic script on the side of the hats to the winning Vokey wedges and Scotty Cameron putters, their presence is absolutely dominant. This comprehensive guide will break down precisely what Titleist clubs the top professional golfers trust in their bags. We'll look at the specific models they use and, more importantly, *why* they use them so you can better understand the gear that powers an elite player's game.
Walk the range at any professional event, and you'll quickly realize that Titleist isn't just another golf brand, it's the standard. For decades, the company has operated with a "players-first" mentality. While other brands might chase flashy marketing claims, Titleist has built its reputation on precision, consistency, and a deep understanding of what a serious golfer needs. Their approach is less about hype and more about performance statistics. This is why more pros, who make their living with their clubs, trust Titleist to deliver under pressure. It's a relationship built on performance, not promises.
The driver is often the first club fans look for in a pro’s bag, and Titleist’s TSR line has made a huge splash on tours worldwide. The beauty of the TSR family is that it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Each model is engineered for a specific type of player and delivery, which is why you see so many different pros gaming different versions.
The TSR2 is the most stable and forgiving driver in beets. It’s designed to produce a high launch with low spin, a combination that maximizes distance for a wide range of players. Pros who choose the TSR2 aren't necessarily looking to shape the ball with big sweeping draws or cuts, they're looking for a reliable, point-and-shoot driver that keeps them in the fairway. Its larger footprint gives them the confidence that even a slight mishit will stay in play, a huge advantage over four days of competition.
This is the model you’ll see most often in the hands of Titleist staff players. The TSR3 offers a remarkable balance of forgiveness, power, and workability. Its hallmark feature is the SureFit CG Track, which allows a fitter to fine-tune the center of gravity to promote a draw, a fade, or a neutral ball flight. Pros love this level of adjustability because it allows them to dial in their preferred shot shape and manage mishits precisely. It has a more compact, pear-shaped head that elite players love to look down at.
The TSR4 is a more specialized head designed for a single purpose: to reduce spin. Modern, high-speed golfers can sometimes generate too much backspin with their driver, causing the ball to "balloon" up in the air and lose distance. The TSR4's forward-weighted design creates an extremely low-spinning, piercing ball flight. While it is the least forgiving of the three, for players with the right delivery, it's a rocket launcher that can add significant yardage.
A pro's irons aren't just for hitting greens, they're for hitting specific sections of greens. Titleist irons are renowned for their impeccable feel and consistency, allowing players to control their trajectory and distances with surgical precision. One of the most common things you’ll see is a “combo set.”
A combo set is where a player blends different iron models in the same bag. For instance, they might use more forgiving long irons (like a T200 or T150) and then transition into more precise short irons and wedges (like the T100 or 620 MB). This gives them the best of both worlds: help where they need it most and control where it counts.
This is the ultimate player's iron. The 620 MB is a true, one-piece forged blade designed for maximum workability and feedback. There is virtually no forgiveness built in, every shot tells the truth. Players who use these have impeccable ball-striking and want the softest feel possible and the ability to shape shots on command.
The T100 is, without a doubt, the most popular iron model in professional golf. It has the classic look and thin topline of a blade that elite players prefer, but it's packed with modern technology. Tungsten weighting is co-forged into the heel and toe to increase stability on off-center hits without sacrificing the compact shape. It gives players the feel and control of a blade with a little bit of help.
These models offer a bit more help. The T150 is built on the T100 chassis but with slightly stronger lofts for a bit more distance and a thicker topline for more confidence. The T200 is a true player's distance iron, using a hollow-body construction and a Max Impact core to generate incredible ball speed. You’ll often see pros use a T200 or the super popular U•505 utility iron as a long iron replacement, bridging the gap between their irons and fairway woods.
Titleist's dominance isn't just about full sets, it's about owning certain categories, and wedges are Bob Vokey's domain. Vokey Design wedges are by far the #1 wedge on tour. Their success comes down to two things: unmatched feel and the industry's most extensive selection of sole grinds.
A wedge's "grind" refers to the shaping of its sole. It dictates how the club interacts with the turf and is a massive part of a pro's short game. A player with a steep swing will need a different grind than a player with a shallow, "sweeping" motion. Vokey offers a specific grind for every type of player and every course condition imaginable.
The list of pros who use Vokey wedges is too long to count, but it includes nearly every Titleist staffer like Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, and countless non-staffers who simply want the best scoring tools available.
Like Bob Vokey with wedges, Scotty Cameron has built a legendary reputation around his putters. Coveted for their precision milling, soft feel, and beautiful aesthetics, Scotty Cameron putters are the gold standard. Players trust them when millions are on the line.
The Newport 2 is an iconic shape. Modeled after the classic Anser-style blade, it has been used to win hundreds of tournaments. Its clean lines and toe-flow are perfect for players with a slight arc in their putting stroke.
For players who prefer the stability of a mallet, the Phantom X line offers a range of modern, high-MOI designs. These putters are built for forgiveness and enhanced alignment, helping players start the ball online more consistently.
We can't talk about what pros use without mentioning the single most-used piece of equipment in all of elite golf: the golf ball. The Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x have dominated ball counts at every level for more than two decades.
Choosing between them comes down to feel and flight.
It's clear that Titleist's presence on tour is no accident. It's a direct result of their performance-first philosophy, offering Tour-proven options in every category from drivers and irons to the all-important wedges, putters, and golf balls top players choose over and over.
